While I agree, many times it can be attributed to the ultra-loose play of the opponents, many times it can also be attributed to the size of your bet, your position, your stack, and even your table image. If you don't bet enough, expect a call every time...likewise, if you instantly go all in, many people see that as a sign of weakness...they actually call it a "please don't call me" bet.

So, the only thing that can be said is pick your moments and your bets more carefully, most especially when you're position is not one which would warrant certain play. Also, the image you portray at the table can play a huge factor in whether or not other players will respect your moves. Be sure to sell an image and don't let the opponents think otherwise. Although it may not totally do away with the donkey's lucking out, it should by all means increase your winning average.

Best wishes, and good luck!
